What People Are Saying About Toast Bakery Cafe Inc

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

The Scene – Dozens of umbrella-shaded tables wrap around this large corner cafe. Diners bring their dogs, don designer shades and exchange industry gossip over cappuccinos. Inside, bronze-painted walls and high ceilings frame a glass display case lined with such artfully decorated goodies as pastel-frosted cupcakes, strawberry shortcakes and hulking sweet rolls. – – The Food – Coffee jockeys are busy steaming up lattes, but the huge menu is the main draw. For breakfast, try the Oscar with scrambled eggs, sliced chicken, sharp cheddar and salsa piled over corn…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
This dog-friendly joint provides complimentary doggie treats and water bowls for your favorite four-legged friend.
Parking:
Metered street parking is difficult at times, so look for a free spot one block west on Sweetzer, just south of Third.
Know Before You Go:
If you don't eat eggs, milk, meat, etc., feel free to make substitutions--the staff is helpful and flexible.

  6. Above all - this place has the best hot chocolate I have ever had in my entire life.

  1. Beyond the rude front service the food is great but the manager does not care how the host gave us rude treatment and said that if you do not like the way the host speak to you go some where else.
  2. Bottom line, good food cannot overcome disatrous service and customer relations.
  3. The food is fresh and service was good.
  4. decent menu, but flavorless food.
  5. Overall, ok food, slow (but nice) service, and non-relaxing ambience.
  6. Went there once for sit in lunch but it was too crowded, the food was actually worse than the takeout and the service was really bad.
  7. ....but then again, I haven't tried a single thing on the menu that wasn't orgasmically delicious.
  8. The one good thing was the OJ which was fresh and sweet.
  9. Used to love the food at Toast, but after this recent experience, I can't imagine ever going back.
  10. Great Service and fresh products.
  11. Really cool place with great food and a cool environment.
  12. Their wraps are great and I love their chicken and rice soup!
  13. I've tried their Tony's salad, which is great and gives you a little bit of everything, their mushroom barley soup, their sandwiches and their spinach dip.
  14. Of course the food i ordered probably wasn't as tasty as it would have been had i not made the changes.
  15. HORRIBLE SERVICE, good food, you decide
  16. The food is amazing.
  17. The service was prompt and attentive from start to finish, including helpful recommendations ("the berries a great today") for what turned out to be a delcious meal.
  18. They have incredible salads, sandwiches, and OMG the RED VELVET CUPCAKES are to die for!
  19. Waiters were good both times and the food was consistent.
  20. The food is really good,my only complaint is it seems like it wants to be the place to be seen.
  21. the food isn't all that great, and for the price?
  22. Bad food and bad service.
  23. Easy pick for a great Sunday morning restaurant that's comfortable, relaxing, and serves great food.
  24. When we were seated the service and food were great, even though it seemed a little expensive hair, buzzing around, very smiley) was busy had a long wait to be seated.
  25. Well, I went and had the worst meal of my life.
  26. She too was familiar with the slow service, but overall I guess we came for the food (we both had breakfast items) & left semi-satisfied.
  27. Great food, busy all the time
  28. For lunch, order the club sandwich!
  29. The salads are great but the chicken is very bland.
  30. food was great.
  31. you would charge 14 dollars for a sandwich but not pay a extra nickle for paper packaging, in my opinion speak with your dollars and refuse to eat there unless they go more eco friendly.
  32. The chicken salad on a pita was dry and tasteless.
  33. Not only is the food wonderful the restaurant staff is too!
  34. The food is good and the wait isn't as bad as it looks.
  35. had a breakfast burrito, which was amazing.
  36. Thin strips of chicken, guacamole, fresh salsa, eggs over medium and melted cheese, all sitting on grilled corn tortillas.
  37. Their salads alone are fantastic-- the one that comes with pieces of veggie burger in it is so creative and delicious!
  38. Poor service and poor food.
  39. just wish it would be just really good food.
  40. The service is fast and friendly and they have delicious baked goods.
  41. got the tofu omelette - $8.95, yummy and healthy, colorful.
  42. The food is good, but their are plenty of other good brunch spots around town where you don't have to wait an hour to be seated.
  43. The eggs were fantastic, and the price was great to boot.
  44. If I'm going to pay for a meal and not just make it at home It better be freekin' perfect, and toast makes freekin' perfect meals.
  45. Everything we ate (eggs/bacon, protein omlette (not what my friend ordered though), asian wrap, french toast) were mediocre at best.
  46. Very slow service-- slow to get menus, slow to place order, slow to get food, and had to wave arms vigorously to get our check.
  47. The food was very good (I had the eggs florentine - their's was a unique and very nice take on a sometimes tired dish) but the service was way too rushed.
  48. When we were seated the service and food were great, even though it seemed a little expensive for what it was, it was healthy and served with a smile.
  49. You can order a turkey burger or turkey bacon instead of beef, and you can substitute salad for everything that comes with fries.
  50. The breakfasts are great - the omelets and waffles are yummy and all ingredients are fresh.
  51. The fries are just great, and I love that they have fruit salad and those irresistible red velvet cupcakes.
  52. love the Turkey Burger and sweet potato fries!

  54. The Asian salad is a guilt free double dose of antioxidants that is HUGE and extremely filling.
  55. good food, bad service
  56. The food was fine, but definitely not to wait that long with that bad service and attitude!
  57. The food was perfectably acceptable-- we had omelets, toast, potatoes, juice and coffee.
  58. Decent prices and wide variety of food as well.
  59. The food was not fully cooked, the water glass was dirty, and the place it self smelled of bleach.

  66. Their fruit cups are excellent and always consist of very fresh fruit.
  67. The food doesn't compensate for the abysmal service.
  68. I'd recommend the tortilla soup if you want something hearty, the carrot ginger soup if you want something lighter, or the chicken and rice soup if you're sick.

IN THE MIX: Pancake review with special guest Jessica Luza

by MaamCakes

This weekend I had the honor of actress Jessica Luza (who some of you may know from “The Lost & Found Family,” and most recently from her guest starring role on “House”) join me as a reviewer for Ma’amCakes.

Jessica and I visited the infamous - and I say infamous based on the line in the photo above - Toast Bakery Cafe on 3rd St and Harper Ave in Los Angeles, CA. Toast typically is this crowded partly because it has been featured in TV shows such as “Rachel Zoe,”The Hills,” “Entourage,” “Rachel Ray,” and even the movie “No Strings Attached.” Or perhaps Toast is typically this crowded because of its fantastic food - especially, their pancakes!

When Jessica and I were deciding on pancakes, I immediately went with the Cinnamon Walnut Pancakes, while Jessica was debating between the Tri-Berry Pancakes and the Multigrain Pancakes - which happen to be Toast’s most popular pancake. “I definitely appreciate all their pancake options,” says Jessica, “I’ve been here a hundred times, but never even thought about checking their pancake menu!” Enter, Ma’amCakes!

After the waiter came and went several times, we finally decided on the Cinnamon Walnut Pancakes, and the Tri-Berry Pancakes. Good. Choices.

First of all, as Jessica and I were not starving, one of the main pros of our order was we had the option of choosing one specialty, or one Buttermilk, pancake for $5.99, as opposed to a full order of three pancakes. Keep in mind, though, this option is only included inside the restaurant, and not in Toast’s online menu.

The Cinnamon Walnut Pancake, a specialty pancake I’ve never had, was a perfect blend of cinnamon, walnut, and pancake fluff. The pancake was lite, not greasy, and tasted just as fresh in the first bite as the last. The Cinnamon Walnut Pancake was perfectly topped with extra fresh bananas - they couldn’t have picked a more appropriate topping. This dish was wonderfully tasty and creative.

Jessica’s Tri-Berry Pancake was a beautiful assortment of pancake, fruits, and pecans - but did it taste as good as it looked? “Wow, these are great. They’re definitely lite and airy, and actually taste healthy - but wait, is that even possible? I mean, they’re pancakes!” They probably tasted lite and airy (as did mine) due to the fact they weren’t first run through a butter churn - as many pancakes are - before placed in front of us.

Jessica’s only note was “I’d actually prefer the fruit inside the pancake, only because it would make it less dry, juicier, and more flavorful.” When taking a bite of Jessica’s dish, I actually agreed with her. As per my review from Jinky’s Cafe, perhaps Toast should adapt the option of where to place the toppings. But in my dish, however, I did prefer the bananas on top only because the walnuts were already embedded in the pancake. While the Tri-Berry Pancakes look beautiful, at the end of the day, it’s all about how they taste! Ma’amCakes’ motto right there.

When asking Jessica which specialty pancake she’ll get next time, she replied “definitely the Banana Chocolate Chip.” All and all, while the restaurant is called Toast, fortunately for the pancakes, they’re lacking the butter!

Thank you so much Jessica, for being a part of Presidents’ Day Brunch with Ma’amCakes!

Don't let the host make you leave

by CSMobileUser3

Beyond the rude front service the food is great but the manager does not care how the host gave us rude treatment and said that if you do not like the way the host speak to you go some where else.

A Nice Trendy Westside Eatery! I Will Be Back!

by Drey39

The location is Great! The food was decent. The service was mediocore at best. After we were seated, the server assistant immediately asked if we wanted to order beverages. That's where the good service pretty much ended. After about 10 minutes, unable to secure even a modicum of attention from the staff, I finally broke down and asked a ramdom employee where my server was. He was in fact our server. He was extremely dismissive and said he'd be with us shortly. Evidently, he was an aspiting actor, in character to play a snobby waiter at a trendy westside restaurant. He should have no problem landing the part! Eventually, he took our orders and our dishes arrived shortly. The soft scrambled eggs I ordered were hard, so I politely asked my server if he could possibly request another order of soft scrambled eggs to which he replied, he would try. Try? Wow, what chance did I have? The second order was also hard scrambled. I was perplexed as to how the chef was unable to master the complexity of soft scrambled eggs aftter two tries. Hint: try serving them before they starts to brown. All of the other food was really good. Actually, that was a masterful use of understatement and unfair, the waffle with strawberries and bananas was the BEST I've ever had! Overall, it was a nice pleasant experience for both myself and my date; I don't go there for the service anyways!

  • Pros: Good Food and Great Location!
  • Cons: Questionable Service and Challenging Parking
